Product Design 2

There are 3 main categories or dominant factors that influence the aesthetics and form of a product. They are based on function, ergonomics, and emotion. Most products are a varying combination of all three, with different products placing differing emphasis on each of the factors, in this triangle of aesthetics.

I would say one of the difficult things for a designer is to make a product look coherent, even the details like buttons should echo with the overall form. (One of the difficulties I face when designing the toy for the major project is also blending the crank into the overall form.)

There are more products ranging from many different colours Read more →

The purpose of this field trip was to expose ourselves to the existing products out there and to identify trends and forms right now in the market.

Week 9 – 14 March 2017

Nostalgia It have been awhile since I last went for a ‘Product design’ field trip together as a class. I always enjoyed having able to listen and discuss about our opinions on the different products. Nonetheless, it was a fruitful class trip!
